Get Ahead with Early College
Each year, Washington State Community College serves hundreds of area high school students through a variety of early college opportunities. Whether you’re interested in just one course or many, you can earn dual credits that can help you get ahead. But it’s not one-size-fits-all. Our staff will work with you to determine the best way to maximize your early college options. There are three programs to consider:
College Credit Plus (CCP)
CCP offers high school students a wide array of options for early credit. Take college courses at your high school, on WSCC’s campus, or online. The choice is yours!
Early Enrollment Program (EEP)
Offered exclusively through WSCC, the EEP program is another great way for students to access college courses while still in high school.
Bridge to College (WV)
Our newest early college option for West Virginia Residents lets students in grades 10-12 take WSCC classes online or on campus.
